John, I see RDRAM as being a tradeoff between pin count costs and other costs associated with the DRAM. Right now the other costs overwhelm the pin count costs (even in dual channel systems), and RDRAM makes no sense whatsoever (from a system designers point of view.) Because of this, very few people are designing around RDRAM and Intel is rushing to get DDR chipsets for P4. The only logical conclusion I can see from this is that RDRAM will die quickly after Intel introduces dual DDR platforms for P4. Scumbria
